later for "the morning news" and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm scott pelley. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." ted cruz's quest for the republican presidential nomination is over. even before all of the votes were counted in indiana, cruz saw the writing on the wall and he announced he is ending his campaign. donald trump scored a decisive victory in the hoosier state, and his lone opponent for the gop nomination is john kasich. bernie sanders, beat hillary clinton in indiana but it doesn't close his delegate gap. the big news tonight, cruz bows out. from the beginning i have said that i would continue on as long
3:31 am
as there is a viable path to victory. tonight i am sorry to say -- it appears that path has been foreclosed. together we left it all on the field in indiana. we gave it everything we've got. but the voters chose another path. and so with a heavy heart, but boundless optimism. for the long term future of our nation. we are suspending our campaign. but hear me now -- i am not suspending our fight for
3:32 am
liberty. i am not suspending our fight to defend the constitution. , to defend the judeo-christian values that built america. our movement will continue. and i give you my word that i will continue this fight with all of my strength and all of my ability. you are extraordinary and we will continue to fight next week and next month and next year and together we will continue as long as god grants us the strength to fight on.

3:34 am
he is one hell of a competitor. he is a tough, smart, guy. and he has got an amazing future. he has got an amazing future. so i want to congratulate ted and i know how tough it is. it is tough. it's tough. i have had some moments where it was not looking so good and it's not a great feeling. and so i understand how ted feels. and heidi, and their whole beautiful family. i want to just say though that -- one tough competitor. >> for the democrats, bernie sanders beat hillary clinton in indiana. he told supporters he has no plans to drop out of the race now. >> this campaign began just about a year ago. when we began people were saying, bernie is a nice guy. he combs his hair beautifully. but nonetheless he is a fringe candidate.
3:35 am
well -- well -- all right. well, a lot, a lot has happened in the last year. as of today, we have now won 17 primaries and caucuses. we have received some 9 million votes. when we started this campaign we were 60 points behind secretary clinton in national polls, now, a few of the polls actually have us ahead a few points out. and i will tell you what is extremely exciting to me.
3:36 am
and that is that in primary after primary, caucus after caucus, we end up winning the vote of people 45 years of age or younger. and that is important because it tells me that the ideas that we are fighting for are the idea of the future of america. and the future of the democratic party. >> we have some insight now into this unusual election from bob schieffer who has covered 13 presidential campaigns. so here is where we are. we remember campaigns for the words they add to our culture, "tippecanoe and tyler too." and "happy days are here again" and i like ike."

but the phrase these days is "have you ever?" who would have thought a guy could appeal to the working class by flying around in a private jet, bragging about how rich he was. or when asked why she took $600,000, for making a speech to bankers, a candidate would answer, it's what they offered. or, a candidate could raise $115 million only to discover it had no impact on his campaign. or, a female candidate would list as a qualification, that she had considerable experience with men who went off the reservation. or the leading candidate in both parties would turn out to be people that polls show a majority of americans don't like. and then there is my favorite, that a party insider could call a candidate lucifer in the flesh and manage to offend devil worshippers. you can look it up.
